"Malaysia is already an ageing society, with 8.1 per cent of its population aged 65 and above in 2024, according to the United Nations (UN) Development Programme.

This proportion is set to rise to 14.5 per cent – pushing Malaysia into aged status – by 2040, which is sooner than expected. The government’s previous forecast was 2044."

I've got the de-worming pills, and once crushed up and mixed into some pork fat, Bernie Biscuits just wouldn't eat it. But an Orange tomcat (whom I've named "Rascal"), who's far too skinny looking - for how much cat kibble gets eaten here at the monastery - was willing to eat it. His stomach began making these sickly convulsions as soon as he swallowed it.

While he ate the medicine, I have to admit there was a certain joy in doing a good turn for others.

Convincing the other cats to eat the pills will take some time.

One of the cats at the monastery - whom I've named "Bernie Biscuits" - is quite obviously sick, and out of compassion, I'm going to get some de-worming pills for all of them (about 6 #cats). These pills are for sale on the open market here in #Malaysia.
